How do you use the GBA E-Reader in a GBA emulator? I once (a while back) downloaded a rom that was named GBA ereader but I loaded it up and said E-reader error....... blah, blah something, reinsert e-reader and try again. Is there any way to download and use e-reader for games like SMA4: SMB3 or like the classic NES e-reader cards? If so; and I need certain programs or files; PM me and tell me websites where I can get them. Can the E-reader work?

The e-Reader hasn't yet been emulated properly, so you can't use it in an emulator.

And no, you can't download cards or GBA games.

Solution: $40 e-Reader, $1 cards, foo.

Actually, there has been emulation of the e-reader. However, the emulation is based on a few hacks, to fake the scanning process in each of the e-reader roms. There are e-reader card dumps out there as well. I have the emulator and dumping tools on my site, http://www.caitsith2.com/ereader/.

Additionally, these e-reader card dumps can be printed and actually scanned. The only tip I can offer here, is use the highest quality setting your printer gives you, ideally 1200 DPI, along with photo paper. If you can't get any good scans no matter what, you need a newer printer. My older HP Deskjet 5550 is barely able to get good scans, using normal paper, at 600 DPI.

The only thing present on my site, is the emulator and dumping tools, as well as some homebrew cards. You will have to find commercially released card dumps elsewhere. (or buy tthe cards, an e-reader, a GBA, a MBV2 cable, and dump these yourself.)

All of my tools come with the source code.

Yes I'm well aware that e-Reader cards can be scanned and printed, but the topic-creator was asking for illegal materials (which your site provides, btw). Not to mention that you have no emulator on your site, despite your claim to the contrary.

Yes there is. Look under the technical section of the site.

Also, about the "illegal" materials, look at the SMA4 cards page. There is yet another link to the emulator, and other than 2 switch cards (green-blue and orange, officially released), and all of the ripped from saves and converted to US format levels, everything there is my own creation. (I reverse engineered the sma4 card formats, and given a list of the japanese cards, created equivelent US region cards that we did not get. Additionally, the demos are 100% my creation, including recording them, taking them off the save, and putting them onto an e-card, and the whole works. (Nintendo recorded these demos the exact same way, with the built in demo recording engine.))

Likewise, I have a few homebrew demos on that site as well. Because I am pretty well done reverse engineering the reed-solomon coding for the cards, I no longer need to provide the power up cards that were on the technical pages. (all of these were "illegal" dumps of them, but provided since you could also use an action replay to obtain them anyways.) As such, those have been removed from that page.
